The river reed
Of cornfield bottoms
Traipsing cow paths
In butter cup alleys
A stick is a stick
And fishin's good
Thumping ground for bait
Climb a tree and escape
Till the Sasquatch
Chase you home
Time for bathing
Sun down and tin tubs
Boar hair brushes
Ivory soap
Honeysuckle Lullabies

Put on your wheels and glide
Valley of the Barbie Dolls
Child of bell bottomed pride
Looking like trumpetstiltskin
Saturday Night Fever
Every day of the week
Sporting Dorothy Hamill
Days at Zuma Beach
What is the meaning of
"Gag me with a spoon"?
Why would anyone ask
Someone to do that?
Stick me with a fork!

Crash landing
White sands of Gulf
New meat, Sweat
Meat Loaf! And then some
Twangs of electric pangs
Bikini rare.
What a difference a Band Aid
Can make to the bare.
Outing in blooming space
Lifting lighters in concerto
Of jackals taking a chain saw
Across the necks of guitars
Hair going up in flames
All over the Dome
Aqua Net hazards
Bang your head!
What? I can't hear you!
My makeup is too loud!

How wholesome it can be
To regress
Way back
To when you were nothing
But freckled milk

Loved this. But Duncan took the exact words right out of my mouth. Those were the phrases that I found hilarious too. Charming look back on the days that we sometimes would rather forget!!

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

This is magic, Regina...the cultural references---your rhythm of thought...very much reminding me of another favorite passions female poet (doreen peri) with jet lightning thought frames...

HEY...you've got a fan in ME!!!!

Wow...

Yet another wonderful piece of writing from you. How great it is to reminisce about the old days, I know I love doing that. The seventies were my era and I still love listening to the music of that time and remembering the fashions and everything else.
Take care.....Sue
